Iberia Medical Center PROMISE Award Presented

Nov 4, 2025

1 min read

Friends and team members gathered on Monday, November 3, 2025 to present Gwen Politte, Environmental Services team member, with the Iberia Medical Center PROMISE Award.

Gwen was nominated as she exemplifies the PROMISE standards in the way she conducts herself daily. She is professional and always on time. She shows ownership daily in how she takes care of her 4th floor, not only in the cleaning but also in how she interacts with the clinical staff. She manages up her department and follows safety protocols to keep herself and others safe.

When it comes to excellence, this is where Gwen sets herself apart from others. Gwen has a special gift for interacting with patients, employees and visitors. Every morning when she announces herself to a patient room for cleaning, she comes in singing praises and lighting up the room. Patients and visitors respond with appreciation for her vibrancy.

The PROMISE Award is designed to honor the exceptional contributions of our non-clinical staff members who play a crucial role to ensure the optimal functionality of our healthcare facility. Whether it is through administrative support, hospitality services, or any other non-clinical role, this award celebrates individuals who exemplify the core values of our organization and contribute to the overall success of our team.
